Descripción
Sumario:We recorded the first population of Gonatodes albogularis for the Departmento de Atlántida, being the most northwestern record in Honduras and we comment on its possible origin. In addition, in the same locality, we found Hemidactylus frenatus and Norops sagrei, species not native to Honduras. We observe certain behaviors of individuals of these three species and discuss them with respect to previous information on their possible interactions, with the intent to encourage future research on the interactions of these three species.
